Getting the Whole Picture: Partnering Exemplars With Everyday Mathematics

Exemplars had been used throughout the district in isolated schools, and our Office of Mathematics saw how well the material would complement Everyday Mathematics. Exemplars would fill the need for performance-based, open-ended assessment tasks. Furthermore, the Best of Math Exemplars CDs offered the ability to search for specific skills, concepts and standards, so it could be easily integrated into the Everyday Mathematics curriculum.

Integrating Technology, Exemplars and Investigations

After five schools purchased Exemplars to use in conjunction with Investigations, several other NEISD schools felt it would fill their needs as well. In 2004, Exemplars tasks in both mathematics and science were purchased for all 17 Title I schools in the district. While supporting teachers using Exemplars, the district math specialists discovered that additional support, in the way of technology, would enhance its use and allow the sharing of ideas. An Exemplars web page was developed and installed on the NEISD intranet home page. It was made available to all those schools participating in Exemplars and could be accessed from home for planning purposes.
